Kenneth Dawson Evans (7 November 1915 – 29 June 2007) was the second Suffragan Bishop of Dorking in Guildford, Surrey, England.[1]

Evans was educated at Dulwich College and Clare College, Cambridge. Ordained in 1938, he began his career with a Curacy at St Mary Northampton[2] and was then Rector of Ockley before beginning a long ecclesiastical association with the Dorking area.[3] From 1949, he was initially Vicar, then Archdeacon before ascending to the Episcopate - a post he held from 1968 until 1986. In retirement, he continued to minister as an Assistant Bishop within the Guildford Diocese.
